About this listen

 Licensed Poetics is a podcast where writers talk about books. Every fortnight, two writers, Fung-Ling and Derek sit down and get (overly) critical and excited about fiction, non-fiction, poetry, film, TV, or any other form of creative storytelling. In LP’s bookclub/film club/TV clubs, they offer their very honest and very writerly opinions. LP also invites talented people as guests to join their discussions, or to offer insight into the creative process.

    This week, FL comes back with a good old-fashioned reading update, talking about Junji Ito’s adaptation of Osamu Dazai’s classic novel No Longer Human. Then the hosts pivot to reading lyrics/poetry. Derek reads John Cooper Clark’s Full-time Loser. P.S. if you noticed the lack of outro, leave a comment! :D

    No intro music this week! The reason will become apparent as you listen :)

    LP film club continues!! One host watched this film during high school, the other host wishes she did. One host is still impressed by Fincher's cinematography after all these years, but less impressed by the message of the film. The other host was surprised by how literary (and wanky) this film is.
